MONEY MARKET. AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE 0 CLOCK. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday conarrised an influx of £lO,OOO in bar gold, and the Withdrawal of 73,000 sovereigns for Alexandria. Durin g the last few days there has been very little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Sugar, however, has fully main tained previous prices. Coffee, on the other hand, has slightly declined, while full rates have been obtained for tea, coffee, and cocoa. In rice, fruit, and saltpetre, the dealings have been too limited to Materially affect quotations, while business in the tallow market has been dull, and prices for both present and forward delivery have shown a down- Ward tendency. _ At the genera l meet i ngo f t h e B an k o f Q ueens l an d , held to-day, the directors proposed that a dividend of 7 8- 6d. per share free of income tax be declared. The Prospectus of the Independent Fire Insurance Company (Limited) is issued to-day, with a pro- Posed Capital of one million sterling, in 40,000 share s of £25 each ; £1 per share to be paid on a pplication, and £1 10s. per share on allotment ; the calls, not exceeding £1 per share, to be made at intervals of not less than three months. The names of the gentlemen forming the board of direc tors will be recognised, and inspire confidence in the project, and the more so as it is announced that the names of several influential gentlemen of Liver pool and Manchester will be added to the direction at once. The company point out the safe and remunera tive nature of fire insurance business, and the certain i mpetus which will be given to it now that it is in the contemplation of Government to give a partial remission of duty only to the insurance of stock in trade. The directors of this company propose to al!o w upon payment for every policy, and after- Wards at each renewal, an immediate drawback, Which, in many instances, will amount to a total extinction of the entire duty. The increased value of the shares of offices established during the past 2 0 years ranges from 80 to 20') per cent., and hence they are of opinion that, added to the favourable opportunity which now presents itself, there is a 'vast field for the operations of such a company, and that the result will be of the most satisfactory na ture to the public and to all interested in the pro ject inn pecuniary point of view. Two o'CLocx. At Paris this morning, according to Reuter's telegrams, the Three per Cent. Ren tea were 67f. 65c. There has been little business in progress in the ..,English department of the Stock Exchange to-day. Prices, however, have been moved in a more favour able direction, and an improvement of 1.16 per cent. is established in the Funds. Speculation in Bank and Miscellaneous Shares, however, is not to's, rampant as recently, monetary affairs ope rating very un f avoura b.y. Consols for money are 91 ? - t 1, and for the account 911 t.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, but in one or two instances a slight Improvement has taken place in prices. Great . E astern and Brighton have improved 5 5.; and soot Western and Midland, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit little C hange of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been in less request, and at slightly reduced rates.

" ASPRONI. " STAMPA.." Presentation to General Garibaldi, Per Laps one of the most gratifying incidents that took place yesterday, at the Crystal Palace, was the presentation made to General Garibaldi bythe Central Horticultural Society of London, of which Mr. George Gordon, Mr. George Glenny, Mr. Samuel Broome, of the Inner Temple Gardens; Mr. Dale, of the Middle Temple Gardens ; Mr. Cole, Mr. J. Crute, Mr. Wyness, of Buckingham Palace Gardens ; Mr. Green, Mr. Cunningham, were amongst the leading members. The present con sisted of two massive silver baskets, the one con taining the choicest flowers, and the other the rarest fruit. Each basket bore the following inscrip tion:—'` Presented by the Central Horticultural Society of London to General Garibaldi, April 18, 1864," and the appearance each presented, when filled with their beautiful contents, was perfectly unique. The General seemed delighted with the present, and, on the baskets being handed to him, he accepted them evidently with the utmost grati fication. The proceedings, although occupying but a short time, seemed to give more than usual pleasure to the General, and on the deputation retiring, be expressed his warmest thanks to the members of the society for their very chaste and handsome gilt. Rumoured cause of Garibaldi's Departure, (From the Morning Post.) It will be learned with some surprise that our Italian visitor, General Garibaldi, is about to leave England to return to his island home at Caprera. The surprise that might be felt will, however, be mush lessened when it is considered that since the General's stay in London he has been subjected to such a degree of excitement, and has been com pelled to undergo an amount of labour which would have tried the constitution of a ycung and vigorous man, and which it is now discovered has greatly retarded his recovery, if it has not jeopardised his health to a serious extent. Although no fears were entertained up to a late period last week that General Garibaldi would be enabled to visit the North of England, and pay all the visits he had promised to make, which he, in fact, is most anxious to do, hie medical advisers now imperatively urge the necessity of retirement and rest. General Garibaldi obeys these requirements reluctantly, as he is deeply impressed with a feel. ing of gratitude towards the English nation for the demonstrations made in his honour during the visit to England, with which he has been exceed ingly pleased, and after u few days' stay at the house of Mr. Seely, at Princes-gate, he will bid adieu to the metropolis. Yesterday morning the general took a temporary leave of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland at Stafford House, whither he did not return at the close of his day's tour, but proceeded to the resi dence of his friend, Mr. Seely. The general will go to Cornwall on Friday next to visit Col. Peard, " Garibaldi's Englishman ;" and, after staying with him for two days, will sail from Plymouth on Mon. day, for Caprera, in the Duke of Sutherland's yacht. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Assurances were given to us at an early hour yesterday evening, that there is no truth in the report of Garibaldi's illness, and that it had been got up at the instance of our Government as a pre• text for the Italian hero leaving this country sooner than he intended. Tne reason assigned for this wish on the part of the Palmerston Cabinet, to get rid of Gal ibaldi was, that Louis Napoleon had made it a condition to his supporting the views of our Government in the coming Conference, that the ovations which Gari baldi is everywhere receiving should cease, by get• ting him out of the country. We were unwilling to give credit to the commu nication to this effect made to us ; but at a later hour in the evening we were furnished with evidence in corroboration of the statements so made, which has almost compelled us to change our opinion. There Is one great fact, which, of itself, points in the di rection which we have mentioned, namely, that on the very day we receive our intelligence that Louis Napoleon has Treed through the medium of Lord Clarendon to act in ooncert with our Govern ment in the Conference on the Danish question, we hear for the first time of Garibaldi's illness, and his e.onsequent determination to quit our shores in a few days. The thing looks at least so suspicious, that the country has a right to demand further information on the subject. (From the Daily News.) The surprising announcement is made that Gari baldi will leave England for Caprera on Friday next. This intelligence will cause general and deep disappointment throughout the North, where he has been impatiently expected, and where the greatest pains have been taken to procure him a reception worthy of the people. But we believe it will disap point no one more than it has disappointed the General himself, who came to this country before all things to see the toiling millions—those who be lieved in him when others mocked, and who will remain true to him when some whose voices now swell the roar of public) enthusiasm will have re turned to their wonted cynicism. Until within these hours Garibaldi was unaware that his visit was to be cut short. The ground alleged is " ill health." But the only evidence on this point hi therto produced is a letter from Mr. Fergusson, of King's College, in which he says, " From all I can see, I fear that the General is undertaking much more than is conducive to his health and comfort, and more than a man under, his circumstances could stand." We believe every word of this. Our people have no mercy on the General. Some weary with the excitement of town life, others from the provinces, full of vigour and country air, have " gone at him," and the consequence is that he wants a little rest. But surely there never was a poorer excuse for spiriting away a popular hero than Mr. Fergusson's letter. It is one that mightbe written concerning hundreds who will be in the City to-day, and who would not be induced by it to withdraw themselves a day from business. If we could suppose that the opinion it expresses had been obtained by solicitation, that circumstance would only make more apparent its insufficiency for the purpose to which it has been turned. Mr. Fergusson dues not say that Garibaldi must go home, nor anything like it. What the General wants is a week's repose, such as Mr. Seely g aye him at Brook, to the immense advantage of his health. After a proper interval of quiet, he might be allowed to visit a selected few of the municipal towns of the north ; he would not then go back feel ing that one of the principal objects of his visit re• mained unfulfilled. All this, of course, is said on the assumption that the state of the General's health is really the reason for cutting short his visit. There may be more serious reasons with which we are un acquainted, " importing Denmark's health and England's too," and we must be prudent. We have friends to manage, and difficulties to avoid. It is said that some great persons have condescended to be jealous of the husbandman of Caprera. More over, cool heads amang us think that the Garibaldi fever has gone far enough. Nobody can tell what may come of a popular excitement so intense as that we now see. One of the most staid of our Whig contemporaries has said of it, in an unguarded moment, that it is "a turning point in our time." But who wanks the time to turn? Evidently the General is de trop. Then to Caprera with Garibaldi ! (From the Morning Sear.) Yesterday in the Crystal Palace the remark of everyone was that Garibaldi was looking better than he had looked at any previous time since his arrival in England. Professor Partridge's pub• lished letter testifies to an opinion somewhat similar, founded upon examination and critical knowledge. Of course the letter from Dr. Fergusson is a piece of advice not given without mature consideration, and which no friend of Garibaldi could urge him to neglect. But it only recommends that caution and quiet which we can all readily understand to be absolutely necessary in order that a man, still little better than an invalid, may not overtask his re sources and act regardless of the warnings of nerve and pulse. It does not bind Garibaldi to make a hasty retreat; it does not prescribe an instantaneous voyage Lack to Caprera as an indispensable restora tive. If we argue thus, it is not merely because we should deeply regret to find the great northern populations disappointed of a long-expected de light. It is in great measure because of some rea sons which will right'y or wrongly be assigned for a sudden departure of Garibaldi. No one who mixed for five minutes in any group of per sons in London last evening can fail to under stand our allusion. The story was in every mouth, and it would be idle to affect any reticence on the subject.. People asserted that a pressure had been brought to bear by the French Government, and that the English Ministry, desirous to remove all cause of ill-feeling from the mind of an ally, had made a direct and personal appeal to Garibaldi to induce him to cut short his visit and leave the country. Any one who has time or inclination to read through the Paris correspondences of some foreign journals will find if cften asserted of late that during Lord Clarendon's mission to Paris cer tain concessions were asked of t'ae English Go vernment, in the name of good feeling and cordial alliance. The rumour pervading London yesterday asserted that one of these concessions was to be made by inducing Garibaldi to cut short his visit, and leave England. We should be reluctant, indeed, to believe that any part of such a statement could be true. Nothing could be more ignoble on the part of either Government than such conduct as this re port imputes. That the French Government could have had the weakness, the want of dignity, the want of common self respect to make such a request of our representative in P,.ris seems almost to sur pass belief. That our Government could have condescended to listen to such a request, and to act upon it ought to appear far less worthy of credit. Yet we have heard the statement vouched for as well founded by those whose authority removes any report sanc tioned by them quite out of the range of the com mon every-day canard. On the other hand, it is only fair to state that we have received assurances from some whose authority is likewise entitled to credit that Garibaldi has not been influenced in any way by the British Government. For the credit of England one would hope that this latter may prove the correct statement. By whomsoever Garibaldi is advised to quit the country, so soon we sincerely trust that the English Government has had nothing to do with his resolution. The advice coming from others might have been influenced by just, honour able, and disinterested considerations; bnt no word coming from the English Government which tended to shorten the stay of our illustrious guest could be aught but dishonourable to them and insulting to the English people. Deeply as it would grieve all Eaglishmea to hear that Garibaldi 'felt com pelled by the condition of his health to shorten his stay among us, it would grieve them still more to know that one of the most welcome and honoured guests in England ever received had been virtually compelled to withdraw from among us at the bid ding of a foreign Government. Several Fires and Great Loss of Property. Yesterday morning, shortly before three o'clock, the neighbourhood of Bunhill-row, St. Luke's, was thrown into a state of excitement owing to the out break of a serious fire on the premises of Mr. F. Tillett, splint cutter, in Coleman-street. The build ings occupied much ground, and extended back. wards into Banner-row ; th e y were three Boors high, and contained a v as t amount o f machinery and goods. A police-c onsta bl e perce i ve d smoke pouring from the various windows in the factory. He at once gave an alarm, an d sent o ff f or the escapes and engines. Meanwhile i nmates o f th e a djoining houses rushed into the street with their children in arms. Engines were early in arriving, and water having been procured the firemen set to work. Before any effect could be produced upon the flames they had extended to the workshops, another range of premises thirty-six feet long and equally broad, but in spite of the most strenuous exertions the work of devastation continued, and not less than eight other houses in close proximit— y we re burning at the back fronts, and a lar ge b u ildi ng b e l ong ing to Mr. P.

The engines promptly attended and went to work from the mains of the East London Company, but in spite of the exertions of the firemen the flames could not be conquered until the engine• house and the machinery were seriously damaged by fire. The origin of this fire, like the others, is enveloped in obscurity. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon a melan choly and fatal accident took place in Piccadilly. A spirited horse, drawing a clarenco belonging to Mr. Ben jamin Brown, of Siliwood House, Addison-road, took fright and ran away. In its headlong course it came in contact with an omnibus with great violence, and in such a manner that although the driver used every endeavour to avoid the collision, the pole of the omnibus cute) ed the vehicle, and, striking the owner on the bead, inflicted on him such a blow that he died elmoat immediately. To add to the melancholy nature of the accident, the wife and daughter of Mr. Brown were in the clarence with him at the time. GUN ACCIDENT.—A fatal gun accident occurred at the village of Acomb, near York, on Friday afternoon last. Charles Ireland, an assistant at the private lunatic asylum of Mr S. Nelson, left a loaded gun in one of the passages of the house, and Harriet Suter, a young woman, the cook at the establishment, took up the gun, and as the was carrying it into the kitchen she let it fall with the butt-end on the floor. The consequence was that the gun went off and shot Nelson in the face, and th 3 poor fellow died in two or three minutes, The girl was not aware that the gun was loaded. LEWIS RACES—THIS Day.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF SONDERBO - fiG ._ _ Tile Earl of MALMESBURY asked the noble earl the Secretary for ForeignAffaire whether he had yet received any reliable information in reference to the repot t that Sonderborg was bombarded without previous notice having been given, in accordance with the ordinary uses in civil warfare. He thought that if it was true it was the duty of her Majesty's Govrrnment to state most distinctly its opi nion of the doings of the Prussian army. Earl RUSSELL said he had not received any definite information as yet. He expected that the reply to any inquiries would be that her Majesty's Government had no right to inquire into the conduct of a belligerent. Garibaldi and the Emperor of the French, The Earl of CLARENDON replied to the state ments published in some of the morning papers, to the effect that General Garibaldi had been induced to curtail his visit to England on account of the representations that had been made to the English Government by the French Government. The noble earl then read the state ment in question, and said that if there was the slightest foundation for the statement, her Majesty's Government would well deserve the strictures contained in the article. He could assure their lordships that, neither directly nor indirectly, had any representation been made to that effect by the Emperor Napoleon, or any member of his Govern ment, nor was any allusion made by him (E.trl of Clarendon) with respect to the arrival of Gen. Garibald in this country, or to the probable time of his departure. He would not say the subject had not been alluded to. He (the Earl of Clarendon) had alluded to it probably in describing the en trance of General Garibaldi into London, and more than likely he had mentioned the enthusiasm with which he was received, and that the ground of that enthusiasm was that he had risen in the estima tion of the people because of the great services he had rendered his country, and because he was a brave and honest man. (Hear, hear.) He was not betraying any confidence, he was sure, when ho said the Emperor fully understood and certainly believed how such qualities as those possessed by General Garibaldi went to the Eng lish heart. No question or inquiry was ever made to him (the Earl of Clarendon) upon the subject. He had not heard the rumour of his leaving England until he had seen it in the morning papers, and while he was addressing their lord ships he would simply allude to another matter, in which it was stated in the same newspaper, and which had been put forward elsewhere. No concessions had either been made or asked of the French Government or of the English Government by each other. The same desire existed on the part of her Majesty's Government upon the all impor tant question that there should be a cordial understanding as far as practicable between the two Governments. (Hear, hear.) PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lancaster Local Board of Health and the Metropoli tan Meat and Poultry Markets Bills was read a second time.

TREATY BETWEEN CAMBODIA AND FRANCE. - In reply to Viscount ENFIELD, Mr. LAYARD said that he had not seen the treaty in question, but ho understood that it contained provisions it, ravour of France. The Government pf this country ha() been communicated with, and expressed their desire the' all countries treating with Cambodia should have the same privileges. PENSION TO THE KING OF GREECE. Mr. AYRTON gave notice that on Friday fortnight, on the motion for going into committee of supply, he woulo move that the granting of a pension of £4,000 a year to the King of Greece by the Government, without the sanction of Parliament, was a violation of the privileges of this house. THE QUESTION OF BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Colonel FRENCH drew attention to the debate on tta question of privilege, and read the acts 19 and 20, cap. 116, which stated that the Government could appoint only a member of the Privy Council to be a member of the Coun cil of Education. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that the diffi culty alluded to by the hon, and gallant member could easily be surmounted, as the Queen had the power of appointing any person a member of the Privy Council, GARIBALDI. Mr. D. GRIFFITH said he wished to afford Govern ment an opportunity of making an explanation in reference to a report that prevailed to the effect that the interruption of the visit of General Garibaldi to this country had been caused by the suggestions of the Government, dictated from another quarter. Lord PALMERSTON said he had heard of the report which had suggested the observations of the hon. mem ber, and ho understood that reports to the same effect pre vailed in different parts of the metropolis. The report set forth that the curtailment of the General's visit was really suggested by the Government of this country, dictated, as the hon. member implied, by the Emperor of the French. That report had done great injustice, both to the Government and the Emperor of the French. Ile could only say that any Government of this country would receive such applications from a foreign Power, in reference to a domestic event, with a civil but firm refusal. With regard to the Emperor of the French, from the information he bad received from Lord Clarendon, so far from the reception given to General Garibaldi by this country having given him umbrage, he regarded it as highly honourable to the people of this country. Every one must know that the General received a severe wound in August, 1862, from the effects of which he had not yet recovered. It was also well known that the General had led a life of exposure and hard ship, and therefore it was not surprising that he should be in a delicate state of health. Besides, his life since he came to this country had been different to what he had recently been accustomed to. In the island of Caprera he rose and went to bed early, but here he had to receive deputations and visits, to dine at half• past 8 o'clock, and to go to bed at 12 o'clock. (Laughter.) lie expressed a hope that the general's health would be improved by re tiring to his former mode of living. DENMARK. Mr OSBORNE drew . the attention of the house to the effect of our foreign pohcy lleninark and tk? Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein ; and moved that it was both unjust and inexpedient to insist on the provisions of the Treaty of London, 1802, so far as they related to the order of succession in the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, as a basis for the settlement of the Dane-German dispute ; and, address for copy of all answers returned by the Germanic Confederation and the Powers who have been invited to attend the approaching Confe rence P The hon. member said that the question of Schles wig-Holstein was understood to be unintelligible to the or di na ry intellect of Parliament, and, like mysteries of the Temple of Eleuses could be understood only by the hietu phants of the Cabinet,and yet he contended it was very simple. He deprecated strongly the treaty in question, which made this country merely a eatspaw to carry out the policy of the then northern despot of Russia. The hon. member en tered at great length into a historical narrative relative to the political . position of Denmark and Germany prior to the signing of this treaty, the terms o f which he maintained had been systematically evaded. He denied that the King of Denmark had any right to alter the hereditary succession of the duchies. No doubt admiration must be felt at seeing a small Power like Denmark c .ntending bravely against superior Powers, but they should not make that circumstance the ground tot overlooking the violation of a solemn treaty. He contended that eiuce the making of the treaty, the Government of Denmark had behaved in the most arbitrary manner to the German population of the Duchies ; they endeavoured to suppress the German language, and to force the Danish language on the inhabitants, and they had extin guished the liberty of the press. In support of this asser tion he cited the authority of Consul Ward and Vice- Consul Raynal, from whose statements it appeared that even the priests in the Duchies were enlisted in the cause of Government, and were dreaded and disliked by the popu lation, who regarded them as the abettors of the police, espionage, and tyranny that prevailed. He quoted also from papers laid on the table to show that the population of the Duchies would never be satisfied until they had shaken off the Danish yoke. He denied that the Duke of Augusten burg had a right to renounce his claim to the throne of Denmark and the Duchies of Holstein and Schleswig. He gave the noble lord the Secretary tor Fo reign Affairs credit for his good intentions; but he regretted that he was so much given to writing despaiches. In fact by our constant interference in foreign. affairs had lost the confidence of the European Powers, the smaller of which regarded this country as an impertinent meduler, and the large as an,iuccrrigible bore.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—Dr. Thomas Napper, of the Bridge Hout e Hotel, London-bridge, for merly in practice at Dorking, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. Ferdinand Philip Fisher Stronsberg, gentleman, of 126, Jermyn-street. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Smyth, of Rochester-terrace, for the defence. Mr. Lewis having opened the case at some length, said that if he satisfied his worship that the defendant had been guilty of a violent assault with a weapon like that pro duced (a thick stick), he should ask that the defend: 7A be committed to a higher tribunal, as bail would not be suf ficient, the defendant having been wailing about the street in which the complainant resided for several days for the purpose of assaulting him. Mr Ferdinand Philip Fisher Stroasberg said—l reside at No. 126, Jermyn-street. Yesterday I went to the Vine street station, as I have been in the habit of doing daily, for the assistance of a constable, as the defendant has been daily waiting for me till 9 o'clock at night to take my life, I found the defendant waiting at my door when I walked up, the constable following me. Directly he saw ma he struck at me with the thick stick produced, saying, "Now I will kill you." He was going to strike me again, when the constable pounced upon him, and took him into custody. I was struck on the arm. I then accompanied the defendant and the constable to the station. At the station there was great difficulty in keeping the defendant quiet, as he swore he would have my life, that he would shoot me if I did not make private terms with him. The inspector told the de fendant not to use such language. I knew the defendant had been waiting for me, and [ avoided him. It has been going on for five or six days, and during that time I have deemed it necessary to have the assistance of the police. By Mr. Smyth—l live at 126, Jermyn-street. I slept there last night. I decline say whether I am living with the defendant's ,daughter—l refuse to say so. Am I obliged to do so. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You know what refusing to answer the question leads one to infer—that you are doing so, and are ashamed to answer. You do not seem to perceive that, but I do. Cross-examination continued—l get my living by busi ness—by introductions—railways. At present I am a bankrupt. The defendant's wife did not keep me out of her income, and never did. His daughters have not both had children by me—nor one of them either. I cannot answer that the defendant has been endeavouring to trace his wife. He tries to get money of me. I will swear he used the words "private terms." I kno w nothing of the defendant's inquiries. I shall not say whether I have been tried and convicted. I have not been as many as three times tried and convicted for fraud. I was indicted for obtaining a lease by fraud, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. I was never indicted for keeping a brothel. I have kept a house in the Waterloo road. The blow I received was not a severe one. My arm was bruised. I am not aware the landlady of the house, Mrs. Snow, promised to give the defendant his wife's ad dress. I did not touch the defendant and say to the con stable " This is the man." By Mr. Lewis—l believe the defendant intends to kill me. Mr. Smyth—A warrant was issued against Dr. Napper, and the complainant never appeared. Mr. Lewis—And then a warrant was taken out against Mr. Stronsberg for abduction, and after the matter had been investigated by Mr. Safe he discharged Mr. Strone berg. John Tippett, 96 C, after corroborating the complainant in some particulars said, " I heard the defendant make use of threatening language towards the complainant, both in the street and at the station, and as the defendant threatened to shoot the complainant and was ♦iolent, I searched him, thinking he might have a pistol secreted about him. By Mr Smyth—Complainant did not touch the defend ant. He said, "This is the man." When the defendant struck the complainant he said, "This is the villain, and I'll be hung for him," Defendant said the complainant had taken his two daughters away and seduced them, but did not say they had had children by him. He said his daughters and wile lived with the complainant. Mr. Snow, butcher, of 126, Jermyn•sfreet, landlord of the house, also spoke of defendant's violence at different times at his house, and said—On one occasion the defendant said, " I wilt sacrifice my own life and murder the others," meaning the complainant for one of them. By Mr. Smyth—Complainant has been with me for years and sleeps in the house when he likes. lam not aware that my wife has told Dr. Napper that she would get him his wife's address. Mr. Smyth said there could be no doubt an assault in law had been committed, but the question was under what provocation. The complainant, when asked whether the defendant's wife and daughter were with him, declined to answer the question. The complainant had been charged with abduction, and on legal grounds dismissed. The defendant, his client, was formerly in practice at Dorking, and had had his peace of mind destroyed by the Qom pioinant taking away his two daughters, and not only had they left their father, but by some kind of infatuation their mother had gone away too. The defendant had done all he could to obtain legal possession of his daughters, and to find out where they were residing. As far as Mrs. Mapper was concerned, he (Mr. Smy b) did not impute anything wrong. Although he (Mr. Smyth) could not deny that an assault had been committed, still tuere had been great provocation given for it. _ _ Mr. Tyrwhitt—l have no doubt the defence set up is pretty true, and that the defendant has received deep and bitter injuries from the complainant. It is not a case for the sessions, but one in which I shall require the defendant to enter into two sureties of LO each for six. months; and in requiring the defendant to find sureties, I do so for his own sake, as much as for that of the complainant.
